E.F. Townsend holds various degrees in both painting and music, and her love of traveling and architecture led her to the exploration of the beautiful buildings in Old Louisville. She found an abundance of inspiration in the Beaux-Art style homes with their Bohemian flair and charming histories and became enamored with the locale and its people. Her passion for reading, storytelling, and a good ghost story, led her to create her debut novel, The Mirrors. She lives in northern Indiana near her family and frequently runs off to explore abandoned buildings with haunted reputations, or wherever there is the possibility of new adventure and inspiration.
